A mixture

 

When people ask what sort of books I like to read the answer is almost anything.   There are so many books available now for the kindle that I am never stuck for something to read.  The problem now is deciding between the long list of  “To be read” books.  I swap from genre to genre too. 

Over the last few weeks I have read a series of historical romances by M.C. Beaton; a couple of chick-lits by Louise Wise and Talli Roland; the first two in a series of paranormal mysteries by Terri Reid; a series of three mysteries by Karen Cantwell; the first book in a murder mystery series revolving around a scenes of crime officer by Andrew Barrett, and finally two books by Mel Comley – one a mystery/thriller and the second one was by Mel in her guise as a writer of erotica – Tiffany Towers. 

So as you can see – a real mixture..  So which ones of all these would I recommend?

 

Take your pick – all were good – these are some of the best.

The book that I read by Mel Comley was “Cruel Justice”  I have read three of the books in Mel’s mystery/thriller series now and I have one more to read in that series – until the next one comes out that is.  I read the book by Tiffany because Mel “came out” and admitted that she wrote under a different name, Tiffany Towers << this is me after reading this book.

Andrew Barrett’s book was excellent and ended on a cliff-hanger – I will have to get on with the next book in that series soon.

The paranormal mysteries had been on my kindle for a while – I should have read them earlier as they were also very enjoyable.  I read “Loose Ends” and straight away read the next in the series “Good Tidings”  There are another five books in this series for me to read, and one “in progress”  I did say my TBR list never gets any shorter!!

The two chick-lits were fun reads – I have read books by Talli Roland before but Louise Wise was a new author for me.

Karen Cantwell’s books had also been on my TBR list for a while. These were described as “cosy mysteries” or “romantic thrillers” and were about an American “mom” whose husband (unknown to her) was a FBI agent. 

M.C. Beaton has written a lot of books.  She wrote the Agatha Raisin series, Hamish Macbeth (I remember the TV series – the books are much better!) and several different historical series.  These ones were light and easy reads., which I enjoyed.

So what am I reading now?  I’m dipping into my Terry Pratchett  “Science of Discworld” and have started to read Darren Humphries’ “The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - Do Dragons Dream Of Burning Sheep?”  which is described as humorous fantasy – yes that does make another genre of books that I enjoy!!
